Cerebral Palsy is a neurological disorder caused by a faulty-formation or injury of the brain of a child during pregnancy, giving birth or shortly after birth. It affects body movements through poor muscle co-ordination.Wikipedia states the cause from abnormal development or damage to the parts of the brain that control movement, balance and posture.
Though there is no cure for cerebral palsy, the disease is not life threatening thus the children can live up to adult lives. There are supportive treatments, medications and surgery that aid the lives of the children. The supportive treatments consist of physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy. Cerebral Palsy is partly preventable by avoiding head injuries in children and care of pregnant mothers.
